Fits a bit large, but it’s still comfortable. If you like a more fitted look size down, if you don’t mind it a bit loose then stick to your size. My husband and I both love these vests. They’re very warm and stylish.

I bought this vest for my 14 year old boy, and he's been wearing it almost everday since February. He says it keep him really warm. I would say it's hard to layer another jacket over this vest.

Purchased this for my son who absolutely loved it! Not too long not too short he’s 5’10 155, enough roomFor a sweatshirt or other layers if needed. I was concerned about being really “puffy” but it’s not. Looking for a warm nice looking vest look no further…you can’t go wrong with NorthFace.

The retro look with the 700 fill power is perfect for those cooler nights and warm winters. Looser fit so you can easily layer underneath. I’m 5’7” and small fit well
Bought this for my husband in large, to replace his Canada goose vest, which starting loosing feathers after a few years. It fits true to size and is not too bulky looking, so great for everyday wear. So far it’s held up quite nicely.
It’s the perfect best for outdoors adventures or chilly days on the town! so Warm and hits perfect on the hips for full range of movement
The North Face Retro Nuptse Vest has Great Potential that is/was Botched with Respect to the Color "Black" that isn't a "True Black Vest" but is a Composite Double Color Vest where the Upper Portion is Dark Navy and the Lower Portion is Black and this Color Combination is Unsettling when Bright Sunlight hits the Jacket and you See the Black isn't the Black that you'd Wish for when Thinking of a Black Down Vest from The North Face. The Structural Arrangement of Four Horizontal Chambers to Channel the Down is a Good Choice yet at the Same Time the Retro Nuptse Vest runs Larger than Previous Down Vest's I've Owned from The North Vest where though I wear a Medium Shirt in Most Cases, I would have to Purchase the "Small" Down Vest from The North Face yet with the Retro ... MoreThe North Face Retro Nuptse Vest has Great Potential that is/was Botched with Respect to the Color "Black" that isn't a "True Black Vest" but is a Composite Double Color Vest where the Upper Portion is Dark Navy and the Lower Portion is Black and this Color Combination is Unsettling when Bright Sunlight hits the Jacket and you See the Black isn't the Black that you'd Wish for when Thinking of a Black Down Vest from The North Face.

Hence the Size of the Retro Nuptse Vest would have to be Available in an "Extra Small" and while The North Face has Offered the Retro Nuptse Vest in an "Extra Small" they tend to be Sold Out when it's Time for Me to Look for a Down Vest hence I've gotten a Down Vest since this Last Purchase which at this Point was a Few Years Ago.
This vest is amazing, I love it. But the Altitude Sports team messes up big time here with the packaging. They squish it so tight inside a small box that the feathers get clumped up resulting in the jacket not being as puffy as advertised. What you see in stores/online won't be the same as what you get from Altitude Sports till you fix it yourself. It can be fixed, but it's annoying to have to fix someone else's mistake.
Eye-catching gilet in the various colours. I've got a black one for going to the city in and a bright coloured one for when I go out walking. Love the fitting and warmth it provides - it's plenty thick enough for me. My sons are keen to 'borrow' i.e. steal them when then can, so clearly I'm onto a winner here with the youths too!
I truely love this vest. I could not find this particular style for women, so I decided to try out the xs in mens instead. It fits a bit longer in the torso, but its actually perfect this way because I like how the fit looks on me (I'm 5'1 and petite). The shoulder width of the vest also fits perfectly. I get so many compliments on this vest, so I reccomend it to any woman who may be looking at the men's styles to try them out!
